We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Data transmission by e-mail to HINT AG takes place via an open, publicly accessible and cross-border network. It cannot therefore be ruled out that data sent in this way may be lost or viewed by third parties and that contact with HINT AG may therefore be traced. Consequently, this may lead to your data being disclosed or its content being changed. In addition, data sent via the Internet may be transmitted across borders and thus also via countries with less stringent data protection requirements than in Switzerland, even if the sender and recipient are located in Switzerland. HINT AG accepts no liability for direct or indirect damage resulting from the transmission of data between website visitors and HINT AG.

However, HINT AG has taken security measures to protect data from unauthorized access, including industry-standard firewalls and password systems.

Your personal data will not be sold to third parties, nor will it be shared with third parties outside the company.

These companies and representatives are obliged vis-à-vis HINT AG to comply with the applicable laws and our data protection provisions when using your personal data. Furthermore, HINT AG will only disclose your data to other third parties if and insofar as this is required by applicable law, court orders or official regulations.

Your personal data will only be stored by us in accordance with the applicable data protection laws for as long as is necessary for the stated purpose.
